The Blue Wonder
Published: November 13, 2008
extremely useful review
The maven is no doubt impressive. The material is simple and durable. This is one sleeve that is sure to hold up and continue to deliver a memorable feeling.
Pros:
Feels fantastic, easy to clean, great durability.
Cons:
Feels great, but could be tighter.
I’ll start off by saying that I have had no prior experience with elastomer before this sleeve. I initially imagined it as a very firm material, and was concerned that the bumps on the inside of Maven would be rigid and uncomfortable, however I was pleasantly surprised. When I received Maven, I was excited to discover that its blue body features a very squishy feel and a soft beaded texture on the inside. The elastomer material it’s composed of is odorless as well as tasteless.
I found that the opening of Maven is a little wider than your average masturbation sleeve. If you're a little smaller than average and you want something tight, I would recommend finding a toy that offers a firmer hold. However if your size is a bit larger than average, this toy will give you a fair amount of squeeze. If you are averagely sized, this sleeve won’t be too tight, even with the suction. I do wish the hole was a bit smaller because I often find myself applying pressure on the sides during use to get a tighter feel.
Maven is only open at one end, creating an excellent suction effect. This luxury also gives you the freedom to cum inside and not worry about making a mess. Clean up is simple, as the material is non porous and the sleeve can be easily reversed.
This toy works very well with water-based lubricants. I used the Maximus lubricant and it works spectacularly with its consistency. I’m happy to say that this toy has never caused me any sort of chafing or discomfort, so that is not an issue at all with the proper lubricant.
For its price, Maven is a real winner. I’ve had this sleeve for months now and it hasn’t let me down, however I do wish it was tighter. The material is surprisingly durable and I haven’t even noticed so much as a wrinkle in it so far. I’m extremely pleased with it and believe that it’s an extraordinary sleeve for beginners and collectors alike. If you're looking for a great durable sleeve that feels great and is not too tight, then look no further.

Cornstarch w/ Maven sleeve?
-
EpiphoraI just got the Maven sleeve and it seemed to be dusted with cornstarch or something else white when it was in the package. I assumed it was to keep it soft on the outside, but I haven't heard anything about using cornstarch with elastomer. Just soap and water, right? -

Just soap and water, right?I have heard about cornstarch being used to dust some products like the fleshlight, I think to reduce the tackyness and keep it soft. A google search shows recommendations for doing so with silicone and cyberskin, but not specifically elastomer (although some industrial type sites suggest using cornstarch on elastomer..) -

Just soap and water, right?I think you should use cornstarch because otherwise, the material does get a little sticky after a while. I was wondering, tho, does anyone know if you can use oil lubes with elastomer?

Good non-toxic masturbator
-
DavyBI wanted to get a masturbator that is NON_TOXIC, not too large, and can hold ejaculate for easy clean-up. I was considering the Maven. It has good reviews and opinions..so I hope I'm making the right choice. -

It's non-toxic (unless you plan on having it for lunch after you use it for masturbation :D ), large enough, very soft and feels great!
And I think you'll be fine as far as cleaning goes...it's very easy to clean. You can turn it inside out for a better cleaning! -
Lilith DesiderataFleshlights are also made with phthalate-free material and are quite popular ;)

The maven is awesome..
-
TechieBoiI use this one all the time.. the whole sleeve is really soft and squishy, so if you want it tighter, you can just squeeze it. The nubs on the inside feel great, and a little bit of lube really makes it an experience. Easy to clean up, too! -

Easy to clean up, too!I'm not a man, but I bought a "Head Honcho" for a man and he says that it feels like a combination of a "blow job" and being inside a "kitty". I wonder just how good it feels for a man, but I watched him with it and he had a very quick and powerful orgasm.

You definitely started with one of the best jerk-off sleeves around; elastomer is a better material than the usual cyberskin-like choice.
